MAES-Y-LLAN WHERE I FIRST LIVED

Council Houses c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

These houses are in Maes-y-llan.My father Den and mother Hilda Wildblood with my sister Anne were the first to live in Number 6 when the houses were built in 1948 I believe.I was born in 1954 and it was my first home and initial imprinting.The houses were built on piece of land between Dyfrynn Hill (a wooded Celtic hill fort) and Church Field.My extended family lived in the village for 110 years and so just qualified as locals when the entire family all decided to leave. I would have stayed but I was only 5.

RE: RE: MAES-Y-LLAN WHERE I FIRST LIVED

I grew up in number 8 until leaving for Cardiff some 6 years ago. Great memories of growing up, though most of the original street residents have moved. Good to see that number 5 is now housing an original resident. I am watching the local estate agents in case a dwelling comes on the market !!
